The effects of breed and dietary protein supplementation on the development of resistance and resilience to gastrointestinal nematode parasites (endoparasites) were examined in artificially infected Horro and Menz lambs from 4 to 12 months of age. The factorial design involved two breeds, two inf...

Effects of a novel pesticide resistance management strategy on tick control are evaluated in this study. The study is based on a temporal analysis of tick management practices on a smallholding in western Kenya. Results are reported of an innovation to tackle individual resistance in a pair of al...

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) threatens food and economic security for smallholder farmers throughout East and Central Africa, and poses a threat to cassava production in West Africa. CBSD is caused by two whitefly-transmitted virus species: Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cas...

Land-use options that increase resilience and reduce vulnerability of contemporary societies are fundamental to livelihood improvement and adaptation to environmental change. Agroforestry as a traditional land-use adaptation may potentially support livelihood improvement through simultaneous prod...

Compulsory short-interval dipping of cattle for tick control has been enforced in Zimbabwe since the early part of this century. Intensive dipping was initially introduced as a measure to control East Coast fever (ECF), following its introduction from eastern Africa. Dipping was subsequently foun...

Results of the research on beans carried out by the Dept. of Plant Pathology and Weed Science of Colorado State U. (USA) are briefly summarized. Surveys in the spring of 1984 and 1985 found many wild beans infected with, and/or colonized by, populations of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola an...
The importance, symptomatology, and etiology of the frog skin disease in cassava are briefly described. This disease has caused losses up to 90 percent or more in Quilcace, Tambo (Cauca) and other municipalities of Colombia. The 1st symptoms of the disease appear 50-60 days after planting in cutt...
Objective: In Southwestern Uganda, bean root rot epidemics associated with Pythium species are frequent despite the use of various management methods. This study set out to determine whether other crops in bean cropping systems of Southwestern Uganda are affected by Pythium root rots and to chara...
